Comprehension I am familiar with and can talk about a wide range of books and text types,
including myths, legends and traditional stories and books from other cultures and traditions. I can discuss the features of each.
I can read non-fiction texts and identify the purpose, structure and grammatical features, evaluation how effective they are.
I can identify significant ideas, events and characters; and discuss their significance/
I can recite poems by heart, e.g. narrative verse, haiku. I can prepare poems and plays to read aloud and to perform, showing
understanding through intonation, tone, volume and action.Mastery
Express opinions about a text, using evidence from the text, giving reasons and explanation. Point Evidence Explanation (PEE).
Adapt own opinion in the light of further reading or other’s ideas. Identify formal and informal language. Know the features of different narrative text types, for example, adventure,
fantasy, myths. Compare texts by the same writer. Compare texts by different writers on the same topic. Summarise key information from different texts. Empathise with different characters points of view. Infer meaning using evidence from the text and wider reading and personal
experience. Explain how a writer’s use of language and grammatical features have been used
to create effects and impact on the reader. Explain how punctuation marks the grammatical boundaries of sentences and
gives meaning. Know how the way a text is organised supports the purpose of the writing. Use scanning and text marking to find and identify key information.

ReadingReading is extremely important.
Your child will bring home a reading book every week. It is crucial that your child reads every day. Please write any comments in the reading diary, here are some example comments –
Used the pictures to help them. Could talk about what they read. Read these sounds easily… Could break the word down. Used their sounds to help them. Could read the text but struggled to answer questions about the text. Learnt a new word. Struggled with these words… Struggled with these sounds…
We will also be reading classical texts during the year. Please take a look at the classical reader link for more information.
After your child has read, try asking them some questions to check they have understood what they have read.
See the below image with the corresponding questions.

Mastery Have a concept of numbers well beyond 1,000,000 and their relative association to
distances to planets, historical data and geographical aspects. Divide whole numbers (up to 4 digits) by 2-digit numbers, using preferred method. Use rounding as a strategy for quickly assessing what approximate answers ought
to be before calculating. Link working across zero for positive and negative numbers to work time between
BC and AD in history. Recognise the symbol for square root and work out square roots for numbers up to
100. Calculate number problems algebraically for example 2x –3=5 Use knowledge of measurement to create plans of areas around school, such as

equivalents, for example, miles to KM and lbs to KG Use a range of time tables to work out journey times on a fictional journey around
the word for example, how long would it take to reach the rainforests in the Amazon?
